Ping An Biography

() Zhang Ning went to Gaodu County, Changde Prefecture in the past few days. When he returned to Chenzhou, he learned that Yao Ji and others had arrived. Before that, he sent troops to Fengxia Mountain to meet them.

The place where Yao Ji, Xiaomei, Fang Ling and other female relatives are settled is in a three-entry courtyard in the east of the city. It used to be the property of a Beijing official.Although it is still far away from Fuhua's palace, the scenery here is beautiful, and the famous "Chenzhou Three Pagodas" are also in sight. The wide view should be much better than hiding in the mountains.

The summer is scorching hot, the garden is lush with vegetation, and the artificial lake in the house shimmers beautifully in the occasional cool breeze, with pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions.In this border city, Yao Ji believed that this courtyard was the best mansion Zhang Ning could find.Suddenly she remembered what he said, to build a large territory, let her live in the palace and be admired by thousands of people.

Incense was burned in the pavilion, and in summer in the south where the water and grass were luxuriant, there were mosquitoes even during the daytime, and the servants did not allow any mosquitoes to approach the owner, Yao Ji. The 38-year-old Yao Ji has an appearance that would make a teenage girl jealous and discredit her.There were many maids in white clothes with swords walking around, they listened to Yao Ji casually playing the zither in the pavilion.The rhythm is sometimes chaotic and disorderly, and sometimes beautiful and moving.Maybe some of them knew the rhythm, but no one commented.

After a while, Yao Ji played a little song again with a hint of clang. In the sound of the piano, she seemed to see the roar of thousands of troops and the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke.Zhang Ning defeated Zhu Yong with 1000 soldiers and captured Chenzhou with [-] men; Yao Ji didn't know how he did it, but she knew it must be very difficult.This matter is now well-known in Jianwen Yuchen's circle, no matter whether it is in the capital or as far away as the South China Sea, they are all talking about it. <Mei came up to report softly: "Master, His Highness has arrived, please see him outside the door."

"Why are you blocking him? If he comes, just welcome him in." Yao Ji stopped and gently took off her fingertips.

After a while, I saw Zhang Ning in a light gray robe coming from a distance from the lake, gradually approaching, and he could already see his bun, appearance and the lining of his collar. Get a little wounded on the battlefield.For some reason, Yao Ji suddenly felt a sense of strangeness about her biological son.

Her heart was a little messy, like the water on the lake was wrinkled by the wind.Maybe it's because he hasn't been with her since he was a child, and there will inevitably be estrangement when he grows up; and another kind of closeness, which Yao Ji thinks is abnormal, he is only attracted by his own appearance, how can there be family affection and appearance? Good or bad matter?As a woman in the family, she felt that she had the responsibility to adjust the relationship; she should talk to him more to make up for his lack of affection.

"My son, who was late in Gaodu County to meet your mother and concubine, was unable to go out of the city to meet your ceremonial guard in person. Please forgive me." Zhang Ning bowed with his fists clasped.

Yao Ji said: "The business is important, you don't have to worry about it, just sit down."

Zhang Ning sat down next to Yao Ji, because there happened to be a round stool there, and he asked again: "When you first arrived in Chenzhou, are you still used to living here?"

Yao Ji showed a relaxed smile at her words of indifference: "You chose a very good place. When it comes to habits, there is one thing. Although the main altar of the church used to be claustrophobic, the hot spring pool behind the mountain is really good."

"Yes……"

Yao Ji suddenly noticed that Zhang Ning's eyes were gradually becoming hot, and she also remembered what happened in that cave.She clearly felt the scorching gaze, although she was deliberately avoiding the flickering, it was still like a pair of invisible hands caressing her body.The pink and white skirt on her body can no longer hide her body, the flexible and straight breasts support the top, the curvy waist, and the buttocks that stretch the silk behind the skirt to form a beautiful silhouette when sitting , the silk folds at the hip set off the softness and elasticity of the thigh|root.Yao Ji felt as embarrassed as if she was not wearing any clothes, and what was even more terrible was that her breasts actually had a strong reaction, even in order to prevent the unintentional thickness of the bra from being exposed, it was printed with a slight bulge by the stubborn two points .

"Presumptuous!" Yao Ji blushed suddenly and lightly scolded.It caused the attendants in white clothes standing far outside the pavilion to look sideways.

Zhang Ning looked at her innocently: "What's wrong with you? Where did I lose my manners?"

Only then did Yao Ji come to her senses and found that Zhang Ning's gaze was not impolite. Could it be her own illusion just now?But no matter what, he really didn't do anything or say anything, so Yao Ji touched her forehead and said, "Maybe it's a long journey, I'm a little tired."

Zhang Ning hurriedly said, "I'll send you back to your room to rest, and I'll come back to say hello some other day."

When Yao Ji heard that he was going back to the room, his voice was deep and pleasant, with an indescribable taste and strength in the gentleness. She was in a state of confusion, and found that her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up. Leaving your seat is bound to go wrong.She trembling | said: "Just talk here, here... is ventilated on all sides, broad daylight..."

"This..." Zhang Ning still looked at her.She felt like she was going to be seen through by the eyes in the deep sockets.

In a trance, Yao Ji remembered something in her body again, which made her tremble, her scalp was numb, and her limbs were weak.She really wanted to forget that memory, but when she faced the reality, she knew that that misunderstanding and mistake would never be erased in this life.

How to forget it?As a woman, she was less than 13 years old when she was touched by a man for the first time. The man was just a symbol, representing power, wealth and status. Not yet aware of other things.Only once, with "Zhang Ning", and then no relationship with men and women, only pain in my memory.And the second time was in the basement of the small courtyard of the main altar of the evil cult. She felt humiliated, but the first experience of her body was too impressive.

Such a thing should be condemned by God!A voice in Yao Ji's heart said.I don't want to see the man in front of me anymore, I don't want to smell his body anymore, I don't want to hear his voice anymore, I don't want to see his eyes anymore.

But the most difficult thing in this world to sever is such a relationship, natural trust and dependence.From a practical point of view, in the extremely patriarchal society of the Ming Dynasty, Yao Ji needed a man to rely on regardless of her status. She believed that as long as Zhang Ning had something, she could share it. An important bargaining chip, he can give her status.Not only that, when Yao Ji thought about breaking up just now, her heart was cut like a knife. In this world, who else can say that she will never leave without being questioned?I gave him life, and he will always belong to me, which is a matter of course.

For the rest of your life, don't even try to run away from me.There was a hint of excitement in Yao Ji's eyes.

Because Zhang Ning's mistake caused damage to this stable family relationship, she felt a stepmother-like abusive revenge in her heart.After a slight sneer, Zhengyu opened his mouth to speak, but Zhang Ning broke the silence first.

He said, "I heard your piano at the door just now."

"Oh?" Yao Ji asked lightly.

He continued: "I don't know the rhythm, but I can always hear something when I listen to your piano. It should be a folk song? Why do you have the feeling of war, and why do you have unresolved melancholy... When will you ever laugh from your heart?"

Yao Ji stood there stunned, as if an ancient echo sounded in his ears: towering like a mountain...soup like flowing water...

Zhang Ning is indeed a layman in temperament, and he doesn't even know any symbols on the music score.But how did he hear the clanging of soldiers from the messy sound of the piano?Also, "unresolved melancholy" she herself didn't know how to use rhythm to express this emotion.

Yao Ji asked softly, "What's the meaning of the second half of the sentence?"

Zhang Ning's voice seems to be whispering intimately in her ears and contradictoryly seems to be able to penetrate her skin, "Although everyone is very happy that the Suzaku Army has achieved some results, but it is absolutely impossible to hide it from you. Feeling like we still have no hope of winning. How can a laugh that doesn't work out make you smile?"

"I'm not that greedy, it's not easy for you." Yao Ji couldn't help comforting her.

She was silent for a moment, but she still didn't change her mind, and said lightly: "There are two things I want to tell you. The first one is that your father sent a letter and wanted to meet us, and gave you a name and a seal. The throne. The title of Jianwen Jun may not have much merit, but it is not useless, so that you can be justified."

"My concubine is right." Zhang Ning nodded.

Yao Ji said again: "But if you leave Chenzhou, I'm afraid that Empress Ma and the prince will have some crooked intentions. My opinion is that you made an excuse to push me away. In this way, Empress Ma Waiting for others to take advantage of your strength, you dare not harm me."

Zhang Ning frowned and said, "Are you going to see... Father?"

Yao Ji stared into his eyes, and said cruelly: "You don't have to worry about me, I will try my best to mediate the misunderstanding between you father and son. If you can get Jianwen Jun's favor again, it is not impossible to squeeze out the empress and crown prince in the future."

"How to be favored?" Zhang Ning asked.

Yao Ji said: "I prepared a dance for him last time... Look at my body, can I still perform a wonderful dance?"

"This won't work... I can't let my mother and concubine take risks alone." Zhang Ning's expression could no longer be controlled, "I think so, father will never allow Queen Ma and others to harm us. He is still unwilling And hope, what if I really regain the Ming regime? Even if he has no power, he can still enjoy the Taimiao and get a lot of lost things; for a person who was once an emperor, those things are a hundred times more important than the empress and princes!"

Yao Ji looked at him with great interest.The sun was shining outside the pavilion, but she felt the lingering rain.
